Foam/Carbon sandwich. To provide the best toughness, every opening (doors and technical holes)
are integrated and reinforced during the infusion process.
Structural integrity
The hull/deck/Bulkheads joint is glued and continuously laminated. Full carbon fiber lamination joint
is applied for the main bulkheads and floor frames. The hull and deck are as solid as though they
were cast in one piece, guarantying an outstanding strength and lifespan
